About the Punk's Backyard Ultra
Punk's Backyard Ultra is North Macedonia's national championship in the last-runner-standing format. The open-ended race uses one hourly loop near Negorski Banji and helps select the national team. Short capped participation options share the site but are not the stored competition.
Course
Each hour starts a 6.706K yard over an established route using MTB track, pine forest, urban park and vineyards. Runners must complete the loop and return before the next bell. The competition continues until one runner completes a yard alone; if nobody can do that, there is no winner.
Race-day weather
Autumn nights at the foot of Mount Kozhuf can turn cold even after a mild afternoon. The organizer advises warm layers and rain protection, especially for runners expecting to continue through the night and into the morning.
